Question 70 mm wheels for crusing, carving, AND sliding
Ok, I'm looking for a good 70 mm (roughly) wheel that will be good to cruise, carve and slide with. I'm guessing that they would be softer than 84a but harder than 78a. I've been looking at so far:
Lime Retro Zigzags
Pink Powerballs
Bennett Alligators (Red, Blue, Yellow?)
Abec11 Flashbacks (?)

Are there any wheels I'm overlooking? Radiused wheels are better for what I'm describing, right?

Thanks in advance.

My vote is for Red or Blue Bennetts. Great wheels!

66mm strikers 84a or 81a, Flashbacks 81a or 84a, and Powerballs would all be good choice. Depends on how much sliding you want to do.
